Cycuria Therapeutics

Cycuria Therapeutics is a preclinical-stage oncology startup based in Graz, Austria, founded by scientists from the Medical University of Graz, TU Munich and the University of Heidelberg. We are pioneering a novel protein-based targeted therapy for hematological cancers and beyond. Our approach selectively targets tumor and tumor stem cells while preserving healthy hematopoiesis and overall physiology. This enables durable efficacy without dose-limiting toxicity, as demonstrated in preclinical animal models and patient-derived disease models. By combining excellent tolerability with long-lasting efficacy, our novel therapeutic strategy aims to address significant unmet needs in cancer treatment, offering a new solution where conventional therapies have fallen short.
